about

Blending the influences of traditional folk songs from his native Ahwaz city in Iran with the multitudinous melange of musical styles to be found in the London he has lived in since the age of five, Iman Houssein is a composer and songwriter who is part of the new wave of musical creatives emerging in the global artistic conversation.

Coming after his inclusion on Gilles Peterson's Future Bubblers 4 and on Lefto's BBE released The Beauty Is Inside compilation, Iman's debut release on BBE is a two track digital EP leading with the sensitive and tender vocal on House of Light and backed with the Chick Corea and Theo Parish inspired instrumental track, Theodora. House of light, through the poetry of the lyrics juxtaposed over the backdrop of its sublime and deep toned beats, captures the emotion of seeing and feeling the Creator in the one you love.

Theodora is a more up-tempo instrumental that channels the freedom and virtuosity of a Chick Corea composition with a multi-genre production that is reminiscent of the blending of styles in a Theo Parrish production.
Releasing as a digital, Theodora/House of Light fuses Hip-Hop and RnB with flavours of Jazz, Neo-Soul and House to create an introduction to an artist, producer and composer we all are preparing for.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
